Massai People of Kenya


Technology has been on the fritz for about the last month, so I have not done the blogs on South Africa with my sister yet. Pete and I went to Kenya for an educational conference (AISA) along with several coworkers and were able to do some sightseeing too. These are Massai women who bombarded us as we entered the Amboseli Game park at the Kenya/Tanzania border at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. They are the dominant traditional people in that area--herders-- but the women are turning to the tourism aspect of earning a few shillings here and there. They cry out,"Please momma, how much?" It was quite unnerving and all part of the driver trying to get us to buy something so he could get a kick back.
